Respect, honor, cherishing and love these 4 words have a great deal in common. They are the fuel for a thriving relationship and create much needed harmony.
Although I didn’t teach this past week in the academy, I was very much in the world. I heard the word blaming and disrespect, and in our family, I said, to one family member, it doesn’t matter what your political affiliation is, we don’t bash the President, who has been elected and is doing the best he can to help Americans. Children hear everything and learn what is acceptable behavior by observing.
If you think about this, we all learn by watching and listening to others. I also know If I say that is unacceptable behavior right off, for myself or my daughter, we have set a president that we love and honor those who care for us.
I know we cover this when we clear assigning blame to another, but the lack of honor seems to be tied to misinformation, being unaware or ill informed, following a group meme or miasm set perhaps by talking heads on media who actually are paid to entertain, not tell truths.
If you are around another who has an attitude of disrespect and artificially incited anger, it is a painful thing to be around. It feels like a part of them has been hijacked and is taken over by harmful rhetoric. Words that tear down are not words of transformation. Transformation and honor happen in the light, with love.
I think I am asking for the gold standard here of being a loving human. I heard much anger and fact flinging about the corrupt Australian government and what is being done to its citizen’s I a 90-minute podcast. I am sure there is a place for rage, but it is not where we are moving as we ascend and move towards a more awakened enlightened world.
You have my love and respect.
